2015-09-08mm: /proc/pid/smaps:: show proportional swap share of the mappingMinchan Kim
We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS. On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss + wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android). This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get more exact workingset size per process. Bongkyu tested it. Result is below. 1. 50M used swap SwapTotal: 461976 kB SwapFree: 411192 kB $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 48236 $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 141184 2. 240M used swap SwapTotal: 461976 kB SwapFree: 216808 kB $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 230315 $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 1387744 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify kunmap_atomic() call] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Reported-by: Bongkyu Kim <bongkyu.kim@lge.com> Tested-by: Bongkyu Kim <bongkyu.kim@lge.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages(). Summary: - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB add devm_memremap_pages mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access() nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB nvdimm: change to use generic kvfree() pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option pmem: switch to devm_ allocations devres: add devm_memremap libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid ...

2015-07-23fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driverJan Kara
The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3 filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2015-07-01fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()Eric Dumazet
Mateusz Guzik reported : Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it. Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is done, or to prevent a resize. Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark : http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime, as table size is at least doubled at every resize. We can use RCU instead of the spinlock. __fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress. The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting, and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched()) resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources. rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run from process context.

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_ that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer is ignored in all cases except the last one. Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call of ->put_link(). b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata). Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition to returning it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in interrupt context during size extending AIO writes. - FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the file - attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size filesystems - Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise when errors occur. Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming due to cascading failures in error conditions. - lots of cleanups and bug fixes One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week after the window opened.

2015-04-17proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/XAndrey Vagin
Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in its fdinfo file. Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock. We can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there can be wrong. For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and dies. In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be reused by another process. $ cat /proc/locks ... 6: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF ... $ ps -C rpcbind PID TTY TIME CMD 332 ? 00:00:00 rpcbind $ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4 pos: 0 flags: 0100000 mnt_id: 22 lock: 1: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF $ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar 5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -> /run/rpcbind.lock $ ls -l /proc/324/fd/ total 0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0 You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock. This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file locks.

2015-04-15mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAPBoaz Harrosh
This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.
